Collection and use of Personal Information collected by placing a cookie

Global Scanning may obtain information about you by installing a “tag” on your computer’s hard drive. This tag is known as a “cookie.” The Site uses “session cookies” and “persistent cookies”. A session cookie is used to tag your computer with a computer-generated, unique identifier when you access the Site. A session cookie does not identify you personally and expires after you close your browser. Global Scanning uses session cookies to collect statistical information about the ways visitors use the Site – which pages they visit, which links they use, and how long they stay on each page. Global Scanning analyzes this information in statistical form to better understand our visitors’ interests and needs to improve the content and functionality of the Site. “Persistent cookies” do not expire when you close your browser; they stay on your computer until you delete them. By assigning your computer a unique identifier, Global Scanning is able to create a database of your previous choices and preferences and in situations where these choices or preferences need to be collected again, they can be provided by Global Scanning automatically, saving you time and effort. For example, after you make a purchase, if you decide to make another purchase, your shipping address will have been retained and will only need to be confirmed. If you do not wish to receive cookies, you may set your browser to reject cookies or to alert you when a cookie is placed on your computer. Although you are not required to accept cookies when you visit the Site, you may be unable to use all of the functionality of the Site if your browser rejects our cookies.

Global Scanning may also remove all the personally identifiable information and use the rest for historical, statistical or scientific purposes. In some cases Global Scanning may share your Personal Information with third parties who work with Global Scanning to provide products and services to our customers. When Global Scanning does so, Global Scanning will require our business partners to use the Personal information Global Scanning shares with them in a manner consistent with the purposes for which it was originally collected (or to which you subsequently consented) and only as permitted under the Policy.
